The Long Lake Fire was started by lightning on June 20, 2015.
The fire are was effected by erratic downdraft's as well as a lot of lightning while receiving very little precipitation. With continued drying and only elevated relative humidity's to slow the fire growth even the lightest wind promotes growth. Majority of resources will be bumping around the fire ground suppressing areas of concern.

Wildfires in Alaska typically burn unevenly, resulting in a mosaic pattern, or patchwork, of vegetation across the landscape. The burn patterns on the landscape from the Long Lake, Chisana 2, and Tetlin Hills Fires are a good example of this type of mosaic burn pattern.
Wildfires in the Tok area will eventually be “out” by sustained cool and rainy weather conditions, which typical arrive in late summer or early autumn.
